Then you didn't read it. There were quite a few intelligent points. Sure the first part was a rant (I'd call it a counter-rant to yours), but the rest were well-formed ideas.
I have already said that if CMake 2.4.5 is possible without causing problem then I'm happy to see us support CMake 2.4.5. The key point is that if you want this support you (as in all users users using this out of date CMake version) have to be pro-active in making sure that there aren't any build regressions.
And I've said that I will do what I can, but I can't guarantee that I'll be able to test each and every time you make a release. I'm sorry, my responsibilities at work come first. Maybe there really are only two of us on this list, and our schedules just don't line up all the time.
This is the nature of OSS. You can't rely on anyone for certain. All I can say is that I'll do the best I can.
I do appreciate your contributions,
Even that little phrase means a lot coming from you. Thank you.
but that won't mean that I will shy away from calling out problems when I see them. The build problem was minor problem easily dealt with, but the lack of community testing prior to a release is a big problem here - as fixing problems after releases is far more expensive, both for me and all those who contribute to getting releases out the door.
I understand that. I'm just not sure how much more I can do than what I've already pledged.
